Excerpt:
The role of this website is to preserve and document the history of one of the most important medical discoveries of our time. By promoting the history of the discovery of insulin we hope to increase awareness of the need to follow a diabetes avoidance lifestyle and to promote the need for further research.
Annotation:
This website is dedicated to the discovery of insulin as a treatment for diabetes by a team of Canadian scientists in the early twentieth century. The site doubles as both a description of the historical events and a publicity piece for diabetes awareness. The site contains biographies of the four scientists that collaborated on the project, transcripts of their Nobel speeches, and a description of the experiments that led to the discovery. The site offers a few links and images as well.
